Kukla's Korner Hockey

Fleury: How hot it is. No, I think [it's] the welcome that we get from fans everywhere. You tell them you're going to play hockey for the Golden Knights and everyone is so excited about having a team to cheer for. Once they announced the team, you didn't know what to expect from a team so far south, but everybody that I've met or crossed paths with is very excited about it.

ESPN.com: Golden Knights owner Bill Foley has publicly stated that his goal is to make the playoffs in three years. What do you think when you hear that?

Fleury: Well, I have two years left in my deal. So hopefully, we can do it before that. I think it's good but, for me, I want to do it right away, like this year. Playoff hockey is the most fun to play, right? So I just want to get back in there and have some games in the playoffs again.
